HOUSES SWEPT BY FLAMES AND RELIEF RUSHED IN
New Bern reports from Dec 2 describe a devastating fire that leveled between 760 and 1,000 structures, leaving as many as 4,000 homeless and causing about 2.5 million dollars in losses. City and county leaders mobilize relief, with 20,000 dollars already subscribed, churches, Red Cross, Salvation Army aiding, and donations pouring in. The blaze displaced white and black residents, many uninsured, triggering major charity drives and a call for Negro leaders to discuss relief plans at city hall.
